I'm planning on captaining him so make of that what you will :-)

Leicester need to bounce back, can't see why Rodgers would rest him tbh

Dr. Bre

With all the talk of rotation I will do well to field eleven I reckon !

extra gravy

Pope
TAA Rico Soyuncu
Mané Maddison Grealish KDB
Aguero(c) Vardy Jimi

Button Cantwell Lundstram Targett

Good luck all

Yeah they need to bounce back but he’s played a lot of football. Rodgers hinted very strongly at resting him a few days back. I was thinking on benching him but maybe that’s too risky.

That is silly. Even if he doesnt start he comes on for 25/30 minutes against a tirig defence with Roberto behind them.....

All week had Jiminez still on the bench. And this is obviously a really tough fixture. But he is so consistent. And Zaha and Ricky are not........should I bench one of them instead???????
team currently is
pope (MUN)
rico (bha) soy (whu) TAA (WOL)
zaha (sou) ricky (new) mane(WOL) grealish (wat) alli(nor)
Ings (CRY) vardy (whu)

henderson (mci) jiminez (liv) lundstram (mci) kelly (sou)


I have a LOT of players away from home so need to get bench and captaincy correct

howareyakid

Really struggling to pick a team this GW. It’s currently:
Heaton
Dunk TAA Digne
Grealish KDB Mané Pogba
Vardy Maupay Abraham
Bench: Zaha Rico Lundstram

Feel like Zaha could do something against Southampton so thinking of changing back to my preferred 3-5-2 and benching Tammy.

Zaha always seems to be better away from home so I don't think I'd bench him. I'm starting Jimi but fully expect him to be on the bench. Ricky who knows. Are you benching Kelly because you have Ings?

I would bench Pogba before any of them
He is going to be playing deep now with McT out, isn't fit and they are palying the exact type of team they won't break down

I am benching Kelly cos Saints are flying it and Palace keep conceding since I bought him!!!!!The reality is I watched them the 2 games before I bought him too and they were BLESSED to keep clean sheets.Rico is similar but has much more attacking threat.

Why do you expect Jiminez to be benched? I cant see it

Could be a good call.

Iused2likebusts

Pope
Soy aurier femenia
Kdb mane salah alli
Jiminez vardy ings

No transfer . Captain salah. Was convinced kdb would be benched this gw but him going off early last night has me confident he will start now.

Here we go

Bound to be some rotation

Foster
Robertson Rico Webster
Alli KdB(C) Manè Alli
Maupay Vardy Jimenez

McGovern, Kelly Lundstram Dendoncker

Thoughts? KdB(C) looks pretty certain to start, right?

km79

Reading Ancellottis comments I am thinking of benching Ricky now.......had lined him up to sell for a hit for KDB anyway so this might be the best compromise !

Nothing to base it on really, just think Cutrone might get a run out because of the short turnaround but hope I'm wrong.

Wolves have 45 hours between games, there is no chance there won’t be rotation. Jota went off early last night, they have Cutrone and Neto to step in. I’d be surprised if they start Jimi tbh and I’ll be benching him.

Going with:

Gazzaniga
Dunk, TAA, Soyuncu
Mane, KDB, Alli, Richarlison, Cantwell
Vardy, Ings

Ramsdale, Jimenez, Kelly, Lundstram.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I don’t end up relying on Lundstram due to rotation though!

Start Jimenez away to Liverpool

Or

Kelly away to Southampton

I have both benched

MikeCork2009

Rashford, Ings & Kane or Vardy, Ings & Kane? So basically Rashford or Vardy. It's such a tough call.

His Wife Rebecca is due one of these days - so he could easily be "rested" for that as well - it's very easy for his to be in the squad and then leave if his wife went into labour - risky put armband on him imo. But then again - I think it will be 90 mins or nothing type game so just have a guaranteed starter for VC

I think Palace are actually quite good when they need a goal so I’d start Zaha.

Tough call between the other 2.

I don’t like Richarlison anymore and can’t wait to sell him at the first opportunity.

I’ll be keeping Jimenez for the season.

That said it’s a very tough call this weekend. Coin toss.

I suppose Jimenez has given you no reason to bench him. Richarlison has.

I’d be very careful starting Alli twice, once is enough maybe?

Rockstar on Twitter -


BHA V BOU

Dunk is back! Maupay, Trossard, Montoya start.

No Connolly

King, Rico, H Wilson, Stanislas start.

C Wilson & Fraser benched

This is a one off btw! 😄

manual_man

Webster benched as well apparently. Ninja benched him last min :pac:

Left it like that
Mane C

extra gravy

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Dunk, Duffy, Montoya; Mooy, Bissouma, Propper; Trossard, Maupay, Jahanbakhsh.

💺 Webster on the bench

❌ Connolly not in squad


AFC Bournemouth — Ramsdale; Stacey, Cook(C), Mepham, Rico; Stanislas, Gosling, Billing, H Wilson; King, Solanke.

The wonderfish

Fear of some rotation but gone with:

McCarthy
Soy TAA Aurier
Alli KDB Mane Grealish
Vardy Tammy Ings (cpt)

Pope lord baldock hayden

Scorpion Sting

Pope
TAA Aurier Soyuncu
Salah (c) Grealish KDB (v) Mané Cantwell
Jimenez Maupay

Button - Lundstram Vardy Targett

Yeah yeah call me crazy for benching Vardy but I don't think he starts today.

patmac

Pope
TAA, Soyuncu, Targett,
Mane, KDB(c), Zaha, Grealish,
Kane, Jimenez, Vardy,
Subs: Button, Cantwell, Kelly, Lunstram.
Last time I captained KDB he got one point and TAA and Mane were rested.

Tipsy McSwagger

Connolly will be a one hit wonder. Scores a brace against Spurs which turned him into the new Darren ‘Sicknote’ Anderton.

COH

Ryan
Soy - Rico - Aurier
Salah (c) - KDB - Madisson - Alli
Vardy - Rashford - Ings

[ Button - Kelly - Lundstram - Dendonker ]

Disaster gameweek last week - same team, different captain, no hits. Hopefully a better swing of things this time around

Scorpion Sting

Jahanbaksh (Maupay)

FFS

Didn’t take long to lose the Rico clean sheet.

Suppose I can go to bed early now.

Every cloud.

Night all.

extra gravy

Started Rico ahead of Targett because I thought there was a better chance of a clean sheet. Nice of him to prove me wrong after 3 minutes.

At a guess, a Starship Troopers reference to the dying soldier

Does that poster have form for that sort of thing ?

mugsymugsy

Mooy looks very good like he did at times against spurs. Appears to be taking set pieces too. Could be one to watch at 4.8

Fitz*

Cilson as part of a -4 not going too well so far! Although the longer Bournemouth are losing, the earlier he may get some game time and push for a goal.

Maupay is a huge differential for me

Definitely think Connolly will be second choice to him going forward.

Cantona's Collars

Maupay in for Abraham already kinda working out.
